I joined governors from across the country to discuss how the Big Beautiful Betrayal takes food away from millions of families, blows a hole in state budgets, and undercuts our farmers and independent grocers. When the American people learn what’s in the bill, they don’t like it.

Elon Musk said Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and President Trump called it a "scam." Now, this Administration is decimating the Social Security Administration so they can privatize your hard-earned benefits. We've seen this playbook before. Hands off Social Security!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Millions of Black families are about to be hit hard. Medicaid cuts mean 8.3 million people will lose their health coverage—some will lose their lives. Marketplace health plans? Those are the backup options, but they’re getting more expensive and harder to afford.

New: 16 House Republicans write a letter rebelling against the Senate bill’s Medicaid spending cuts, which are more aggressive than the House bill. Concerns include provider taxes, state payments, harm to hospitals and “cuts to emergency Medicaid funding.” Led by Rep. David Valadao:

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

For journalists following me, the House came in at $3.798 trillion in cost, and the Senate came in at “only” $441 billion of cost. But the Senate told JCT to pretend that $3.760 trillion was free. On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate costs $4.201 trillion, $403 billion more.

FWIW, every MAGA-connected account on FB that I’ve seen today has used this exact phrase “sleeper cells” and they’ve ascribed responsibility for them to Biden’s immigration policy. It should be fairly obvious what the PR strategy is here. Any blowback the US might experience is Biden’s fault.

Thread. Because not enough people understand this. Medicaid is a lifeline for pregnant women, children, poor, disabled, veterans and the elderly. If its decimation doesn't impact you now, it will when your senior parents need it. Or your kid serves our country and comes home less than 100%...

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.
